How to use degenerative in a sentence?
My neurological symptoms have left me barely able to function some days, and the internal tremors create a type of fatigue that I have never experienced before, i am unable to fully participate in the activities I enjoyed before being vaccinated. My life has been negatively altered as a result of my vaccine. Will I get better? Will I develop Parkinson’s or MS or ALS or another neuro-degenerative disease? I don't know, and my doctors can’t tell me if they know. So what do I want? I want our neurological injuries to be recognized and acknowledged by the CDC and the FDA.

By that time, we will have made substantial progress on ALS and other nerve degenerative diseases, spinal muscular atrophy in kids. All that stuff is on our plate.
I literally live in pain 24/7, it’s degenerative and there’s nothing that at my stage that can be done … Unfortunately, I lived with it for a very long time and I just kept my mouth shut, which is probably not the smartest thing to do. So now I ’m dealing with it on both knees. I’ve been told I have absolutely no cartiidge left on my neck. My hands are a nightmare. And I ’m just waiting to see what else starts hurting at this point … Unfortunately, there’s just nothing that can be done about that. I ’m just trying to deal with it the best I can. You take your high blood pressure medicine, a lot of vitamins, and hope for the best.
To me, that was kind of like his third time dying because he passed when he started to get the dementia, when we found out about the ALS and it was even more rapid and degenerative and we knew eventually Son Gavin heart or lungs would go, it was like Son Gavin died again, because now the clock was ticking. Then when Son Gavin eventually passed, it was stunning.
